InfoPath Dev

If InfoPath 2007 is also installed locally, just go to Control Panel and repair the installation. If you are trying to open from the browser, the fact that you have InfoPath 2003 installed makes no difference. It's probably because the SharePoint site isn't configured to open in the browser, or there is something in the form preventing ...

Add a validation rule that fires if the count() = 100. This is an xpath expression. Or, export the form template (XSN) as source files. Manually edit the schema.xsd tile and add a maxOccurs=100.

If you are saving your form to SharePoint, SQL or a Web Service, just add a button to your form and configure it to Submit to your SharePoint site. It will require the form is valid to submit. To let them save the form even when required fields are missing, you can use qRules ClearErrors command on the button rules to override (but don't ...

Well, you don't need Rule 2 if your default view is the Read Only one. If you are previewing and the rule fails, it will assume the current view that you are on, which could be the Edit one.

Please use UserProfileService to get the user name. Or, you can install a third-party Active Directory Web Service, such as Qdabra's ADWS which has more ...

I need to develop a solution in InfoPath (InfoPath Form Services 2007 browser based forms) that submits to a SQL server rather than SharePoint Forms Library. I have looked at a few of the tutorials / doco etc on this site but so far it doesnt look all that simple. In a nutshell, I want to create an application that opens an InfoPath form in ...

Hi Ted,  I came across your reply post on the forum here and I thought I would quickly ask you about DBXL. Just like Michael, I need to develop a solution in InfoPath (InfoPath Form Services 2007 browser based forms) that submits to a SQL server rather than SharePoint Forms Library. I have looked at a few of the tutorials / doco etc on this ...
